Reviews:| Rating 4.0/5 from 35 reviews | | Super tuff, execellent. | | Rating: 5/5 2010-02-16 | This is my second Casio and I'll never buy another brand of watch. They're a little pricey but well worth it. I've had this one for a number of years and replaced the battery twice. I'm tough on watches and tend to occasionally bang and hit them on various things while working on my car, etc. A poorly aimed hammer swing has landed on the face of the watch more than once and the watch didn't care except for some expected scratches on the face.
Living in a remote location (in a valley), the atomic updates don't work every time, but it does update.
It did go a little crazy on me after the 2nd battery was installed. I was in a rush and didn't do a good job installing the back plate and gasket (my fault). Water was able to enter the body but it was still functional. Now there are times when the display wanks out and the light doesn't illuminate. I'll be buying another G-Shock.
CONS:
-no count down timer.
-solar doesn't seem to have any effect. - when the battery was getting low, light had little effect on the status of the charge. no big deal, new battery (about $5 at walmart) and it was as good as new. | | Durable as a brick, but get some extra bands... | | Rating: 5/5 2010-01-31 | I've had this watch for about 7 years now, and it's frankly indestructible. Solar battery is utterly dependable, and living in Colorado (atomic time radio based near my house) I've NEVER found it to be off in terms of time. I'm an ER nurse, and have worn this watch on a daily basis since buying it for about $80. I've gone through 5 bands, averaging about 1 per year - that's through daily showers, Chlorhexidine hand wash, the Gym, slamming it into walls, you name it. It is quite simply the most dependable piece of technology I've ever encountered. I'm looking into one with a compass because I've realized that I'm about to buy another band, at which point I'll have spent more on bands than the watch itself. The next one will have a metal band. That's the only weakness I've found, is that the bands are expensive, and not as long lasting as I'd like.
| | Don't buy this watch, not worth the money | | Rating: 1/5 2010-01-27 | | I've had the watch for 4 years and spend a lot of time outdoors. Don't be fooled by the solar charging claim. Near the end of the four years, I had to start recharging the watch with a light. The battery slowly loses it's charge and then it has to be replaced at a cost of $65--it's not a normal battery and lasts less than a regular battery. It's a ripoff, stay clear. | | G-Shock, Think Not | | Rating: 2/5 2009-11-20 | | I've had this watch for several years. Time is perfect, construction is poor. Last year two of the function buttons on the watch fell off and I had to send it to an authorized repair station. $29.00 dollars later it was back with all the buttons. Now three of the four buttons fell off. Definitely poor construction. My son bought me a replacement Casio, and within 6 months a button has gone missing. Very poor quality! | | its great | | Rating: 5/5 2009-11-09 | | Ive own this watch though 2 combat tours in 3 years and it has proved it self good, I just wish It was easier to set the time. |
